5:33PM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 22-26)
Jose finished its transition and is no longer tropical, but what it hasn’t finished doing is causing wind and some wet weather in southeastern New England, though that will abate tonight through early Saturday and then high pressure takes over by late Saturday into the beginning of next week. This will result in the feel of summer in the early days of autumn, which is underway as of 4:02PM today.
THROUGH EVENING: Overcast with areas of rain/drizzle and patchy light fog. Temperatures holding 57-62 coast, 63-68 interior. Wind NE 5-15 MPH interior and 15-25 MPH coast with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lingering showers southeastern MA early. Lows 53-59. Wind N 10-20 MPH.
SATURDAY: Party sunny. Highs 65-70 coast, 70-75 interior. Wind N 10-20 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to middle 80s, coolest coastal areas.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to lower 80s coast, middle 80s to near 90 interior.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the lower to middle 70s coast, upper 70s to lower 80s interior.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 27-OCTOBER 1)
A little uncertain of the details during this period but how I believe it will play out right now is a cold front brings showers and a chance of thunderstorms as Maria starts to take a turn to the east well south of New England September 27 and then dry weather returns September 28 with Maria well out to sea, but will watch it in case. Another period of unsettled weather may take place sometime in the September 29 through October 1 period as a trough approaches, but I’m thinking models don’t have a good handle on this and will update and fine tune.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 2-6)
A cooler period and a possible rain event early in the period then fair with a warming trend following. Low confidence continues for this period as well.

3:47PM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 21-25)
The script has been changed many times on the tropical stage of late, but it seems to be pretty much finalized, for the time-being anyway. Jose will continue to weaken and drift around southeast to south of New England, eventually dissipating and being absorbed by Hurricane Maria which will be moving northwest to north through the waters north of the Caribbean, east of the Bahamas, and offshore of the US East Coast. Meanwhile high pressure will assert more control, although Jose will still try to battle it, this will lead to more dominant cloudiness at times, especially Friday, when there may be some wet weather as well, and into Saturday.

REMAINDER OF TODAY: Heaviest overcast southeastern MA with some rain at times outer Cape Cod and the islands. Thinner overcast including some sun to the northwest. Temperatures ranging from the middle 60s to middle 70s, warmest well inland. Wind NE to N 10-20 MPH except 20-30 MPH southeastern areas, with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lows 56-63. Wind N 10-20 MPH except 15-25 MPH coast, higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Mostly cloudy. A few periods of rain or showers favoring eastern NH, eastern MA, and RI. Highs 61-67. Wind NE to N 10-20 MPH except 15-25 MPH coast, higher gusts.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Lingering showers southeastern MA early. Lows 53-59. Wind N 10-20 MPH.
SATURDAY: Party sunny. Highs 65-70 coast, 70-75 interior. Wind N 10-20 MPH.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to middle 80s, coolest coastal areas.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to lower 80s coast, middle 80s to near 90 interior.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 26-30)
A front from the west may interact with moisture that was once Jose and produce showers and thunderstorms during the September 26-28 period while at the same time Maria makes a northward run off the East Coast, with odds favoring a turn out to sea. Will continue to watch it. Fair, cooler, drier weather should arrive to end the month.

DAYS 11-15 (OCTOBER 1-5)
A cooler period and a possible rain event very early in October then fair with a warming trend following. Low confidence on this at this time.

4:08PM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 20-24)
Jose was downgraded to a tropical storm but has continued to be a hybrid system for a while and will now lose tropical characteristics further as it does a loop east then south then west over the next several days. Its impact is greatest on southeastern New England now and tonight, with a lessening impact thereafter. Still expecting wind and high tides to be the main issues, as outline on the previous blog. This includes some downed trees and power lines and coastal flooding especially near and during high tides through early Friday. As far as Maria goes, it hit Puerto Rico very hard this morning, but the center moving over the island caused it to weaken considerably, though it still remains fairly strong. The center will be back over water and the storm may re-intensify, but not likely to the level it was prior. It’s expected to turn north and get into a position off the US Southeast Coast by late in the period when we will be watching it.

REMAINDER OF TODAY: Overcast. Episodic showers/rain/drizzle, steadiest and heaviest rain over southeastern MA. Temperatures holding in the 60s. Wind NE to N 15-25 MPH interior, 25-35 MPH coast, gusts as high as 30-40 MPH interior, 40-55 MPH coast with strongest southeastern MA.
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Showers lingering eastern MA and southeastern NH. Lows 58-65. Wind N 10-20 MPH interior, 20-30 MPH coast, higher gusts, but diminishing overnight.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers Cape Cod early. Highs 65-73. Wind N 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.
SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain South Coast. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 25-29)
Low confidence forecast due to some uncertainty with Jose’s movement and the eventual path of Maria (see above). Going to lean to lots of clouds to start the period and some periods of rain more with the still-lingering remains of Jose, then by mid period possible some wind/rain with Maria’s closest pass, then some calmer weather to follow.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 30-OCTOBER 4)
Overall pattern looks mainly dry and mild to warm.

2:48PM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 19-23)
Jose is now essentially half tropical and half non-tropical as it spins to the south of New England, moving north then turning east and beginning somewhat of a loop as it eventually turns back south and then probably west again during this 5-day period. Its impact on southeastern New England will be similar to that of a typical “nor’easter” type storm with gusty winds, some rain, and some coastal flooding and splashover issues, which may be of moderate magnitude. Some trees may come down since they are still with foliage and more “top-heavy” than in the winter. So due to that, power outages may occur. The peak of the impact on this area will be Wednesday, with a lessening after. High pressure will build in for the very end of the period with nicer weather. All the while, powerful hurricane Maria which is devastating a few islands in the Caribbean will continue to track northeast and eventually find its way east of the Bahamas – a precarious position for concerns in New England many times, but it is very possible that Jose’s continued habit of doing loops may essentially save the US East Coast, including New England of any impact from Maria save for some additional rough surf beyond the end of this period. More on this in the days ahead, because a faster westward movement by Jose would open the door for Maria to end up closer to the coast as it gets further north.
REMAINDER OF TODAY: Cloudy. Periods of showers, a few possibly heavy. Temperatures holding in the 60s. Wind NE 15-25 MPH coast, 10-20 MPH inland, higher gusts possible.
TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY: Overcast. Episodic showers/rain/drizzle, some heavy rain possible. Temperatures holding in the 60s. Wind NE to N 15-25 MPH interior, 25-35 MPH coast, gusts as high as 30-40 MPH interior, 40-55 MPH coast with strongest southeastern MA.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Showers lingering eastern MA and southeastern NH. Lows 58-65. Wind N 10-20 MPH interior, 20-30 MPH coast, higher gusts, but diminishing overnight.
THURSDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of showers Cape Cod early. Highs 65-73. Wind N 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 24-28)
Low confidence forecast due to some uncertainty with Jose’s movement and the eventual path of Maria (see above). For now will go with return of clouds Sunday September 24 into Monday September 25 with some rain risk southern areas, then a clearing trend following. Temperatures generally above normal.

DAYS 11-5 (SEPTEMBER 29-OCTOBER 3)
Overall pattern looks mainly dry and mild to warm.

7:38AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 18-22)
Hurricane Jose will make a run at New England but the most likely path is a right hook just to the south later Tuesday into Wednesday and then a broad anti-cyclonic (clockwise) loop of the storm to the south of New England over several days. The ultimate path remains somewhat uncertain and will depend on a ridge of high pressure to its north and eventually Hurricane Maria to its south (though this effect will not likely be until after this 5-day period). The impact on the initial pass of Jose will be rough surf along the coast, gusty wind, and some rain, with heaviest likely over Cape Cod. The timing is mainly later Tuesday through Wednesday for this, with only slow improvement as the storm turns back to the east then south as an onshore flow takes place between the storm and a large high pressure ridge to the north.
TODAY: Mostly cloudy. Highs 65-72. Wind light E
TONIGHT: Cloudy. Slight chance of showers mainly southern MA southward. Lows 58-65. Wind E to NE up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Periods of rain, heaviest late-day favoring southern areas. Highs 65-72. Wind NE increasing to 5-15 MPH and 15-25 MPH coast with higher gusts.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Overcast. Periods of rain, may be heavy at times especially southeastern areas. Lows 58-65. Wind NE 10-20 MPH with gusts 20-40 MPH except 20-30 MPH with gusts 40-55 MPH and locally stronger over southeastern MA.
WEDNESDAY: Overcast. Periods of rain, may be heavy especially early over southeastern areas. Highs 65-72. Wind NE 15-25 MPH with higher gusts, especially southeastern areas
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny. Chance of showers far southeast. Lows from the upper 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 60s to lower 70s.
FRIDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 23-27)
Mainly dry into the middle of the period with temperatures mainly above normal. Will have to watch for some possible wet weather later in the period. Too early to know where Hurricane Maria will go. There may be a threat to the East Coast. Will discuss more in comments sections.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 28-OCTOBER 2)
Possible wet weather early in the period, then a trend back to dry and mild to warm.

2:34AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 17-21)
This particular update does not offer too much different from the last one as the overall outlook is the same and not a whole lot more detail is known regarding upcoming events, namely the passage of Jose. Still looking for an early-week approach and turn to the right of a transitioning system, which spares a direct hit but involves part of the region in the enveloped of wind and some rain, again favoring southeastern locations. And don’t forget about the coastal flooding and splash-over threat at high tide times Tuesday and Wednesday.
TODAY: Mainly cloudy with areas of fog early, then partly sunny. Highs 68-73 coast, 74-79 interior. Wind light variable with light sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Areas of fog. Lows 60-66. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 68-75. Wind light variable.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain and possible thunderstorms especially afternoon and night. Lows from the lower to middle 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s. Gusty wind possible especially at night and favoring southeastern areas especially Cape Cod and the Islands.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain and possible thunderstorms, favoring the morning. Lows from the lower to middle 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s. Gusty wind possible especially early and favoring southeastern areas especially Cape Cod and the Islands.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 22-26)
Expecting a fairly dry and warm pattern at least through the middle of the period. May have to once again watch for a tropical system to be at least nearby later in the period.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 27-OCTOBER 1)
With a continued active tropical pattern this may be an issue again for a portion of this period but otherwise the pattern supports a lack of rain and above normal temperatures.

10:56AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 16-20)
We’re in a little bit of a weather “no-man’s land” today as the final remains of Irma depart and a washed-out old front sits over the region, while weak high pressure, and I mean very weak high pressure, tries to build in. The result has been lots of low clouds and areas of fog forming overnight and persisting much of the morning, though there have been breaks in the clouds in some areas. These breaks will gain more control during midday and afternoon but this process will likely repeat again tonight and tomorrow, and to some extent even Monday. The main attention is now on Hurricane Jose, which will be tracking northward toward New England by early in the week. A hurricane coming toward New England during hurricane season is nothing unusual. So instead of reacting only on that statement, read on. The chance of a direct impact on New England, though not zero, is pretty low. Most reliable indications show this system will be weakening, transitioning from tropical to non-tropical, and making a turn to the right before its center can reach the region. But this does not mean zero impact either. A system taking this track during transition will still be close enough for definite rough surf impact (starting as early as Monday), and probable rain/wind impact, though the “worst” of it would likely occur over Cape Cod and the Islands. Still, however, a few days from the event we still have uncertainty and will watch for any changes. The forecast below will give as much detail as I’m comfortable with for now, and of course going forward it will be updated in more detail.
TODAY: Mainly cloudy with areas of fog into midday, then partly to mostly sunny. Highs 68-73 coast, 74-79 interior. Wind light variable with light sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Areas of fog. Lows 60-66. Wind light variable.
SUNDAY: Mainly cloudy with areas of fog early, then partly sunny. Highs 68-73 coast, 74-79 interior. Wind light variable with light sea breezes.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy. Areas of fog. Lows 60-66. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Partly sunny. Highs 68-75. Wind light variable.
TUESDAY: Cloudy. Chance of rain and possible thunderstorms especially afternoon and night. Lows from the lower to middle 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s. Gusty wind possible especially at night and favoring southeastern areas especially Cape Cod and the Islands.
WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain and possible thunderstorms Lows from the lower to middle 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s. Gusty wind possible especially early and favoring southeastern areas especially Cape Cod and the Islands.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 21-25)
Much of this period should feature dry weather and above normal temperatures.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 26-30)
The overall pattern doesn’t change much but we may again need to eye the tropics for potential impact from a system early in the period.

4:53PM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 15-19)
The remains of Irma continue their passage through the Northeast and will finish the journey and exit into the Atlantic by early Saturday. At the same time a weakening cold front dropping into the region will basically wash out. The tropical pop up showers will fade tonight but the humidity will take a while to depart, only easing gradually during the weekend. Weak high pressure will be in control by Sunday into Monday but cloudiness in advance of Jose will spread into the region as early as later Monday and definitely by Tuesday. Though the timing is still a little uncertain, Jose should get close enough to bring some wind/rain to the region, especially southern and eastern areas, during Tuesday, though its arrival may not be until later day or nighttime.
THROUGH EVENING: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers including some downpours and a slight chance of thunderstorms. Humid. Temperatures mainly in the 70s. Wind light variable.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Areas of fog. Humid. Lows 60-65. Wind light E.
SATURDAY: Variably cloudy. Areas of fog early. Slight chance of showers. Humid. Highs 68-75. Wind light E.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Areas of fog. Lows 60-65. Wind light variable.
SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. Slightly less humid. Highs 68-75 coast, 75-82 interior. Wind light variable.
MONDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs in the 70s.
TUESDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of rain, especially late. Lows from the lower to middle 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 20-24)
Jose may continue to impact the region with a rain/wind threat for at least southern and eastern areas September 20. After this it should become drier but mild to warm.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 25-29)
Will continue to watch the tropics for additional activity but overall a fairly dry and warm pattern is expected.

9:02AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 14-18)
The fragmented remains of Irma will traverse the region through Friday with a few opportunities for showers and even thunderstorms. During this time a weak cold front will also make its way into the region but fall apart in the process. By the weekend, weak high pressure will regain control of the weather. The overall pattern has shifted to one of above normal temperatures.
TODAY: Variably cloudy. Slight chance of showers/thunderstorms. Highs 70-75 coast, 75-80 interior. Wind light variable with light sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Variably cloudy. Slight chance of showers. Lows 60-65. Wind light variable.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers. Chance of thunderstorms. Highs 70-75 coast, 75-80 interior. Wind light variable.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the upper 70s to middle 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 19-23)
The overall idea remains for Jose, as a tropical storm or hurricane, to remain offshore and pass somewhere between the US East Coast and Bermuda, but will continue to monitor. Otherwise, expect mainly dry weather and above normal temperatures.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 24-28)
Overall pattern favors mainly dry weather and above normal temperatures.

3:02AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 13-17)
As expected, the fragmented remains of Irma make their approach later today but bring variable amounts of cloudiness and a few opportunities for showers Thursday and Friday. Not looking for any wash-out kind of weather, although some rain is needed as the region has experienced short-term dryness over the last few weeks. By the weekend, weak high pressure will regain control of the weather. The overall pattern has shifted to one of above normal temperatures.
TODAY: Mostly sunny morning. Partly sunny afternoon. Highs 75-80 coast, 80-85 interior. Wind light variable with light sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Slight chance of showers/thunderstorms. Lows 60-65. Wind light variable.
THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Slight chance of showers/thunderstorms. Highs 70-75 coast, 75-80 interior. Wind light variable with light sea breezes.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Variably cloudy. Slight chance of showers. Lows 60-65. Wind light variable.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Scattered showers. Chance of thunderstorms. Highs 70-75 coast, 75-80 interior. Wind light variable.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the upper 50s to middle 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 18-22)
The overall idea remains for Jose, as a tropical storm or hurricane, to remain offshore and pass somewhere between the US East Coast and Bermuda, but will continue to monitor. Otherwise, expect mainly dry weather and above normal temperatures.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 23-27)
Overall pattern favors mainly dry weather and above normal temperatures.

7:04AM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 12-16)
High pressure dominates the weather in southeastern New England for the next couple days, which will be fair and warmer than average. The remains of Irma, in very fragmented form, will pass through the Northeast, at least part of them, Thursday and Friday, and at the same time a cold front will drop down from Canada and cross the region. Cloudiness and a risk of showers will result. Weak high pressure builds in Saturday.
TODAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 69-76 coast, 77-83 interior. Wind light variable with coastal sea breezes.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 48-53 interior valleys, 54-59 elsewhere. Wind light variable.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 69-76 coast, 77-83 interior. Wind light S but coastal sea breezes.
THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Slight chance of showers. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s coast, middle to upper 70s interior.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s.
SATURDAY: Partly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs in the 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 17-21)
A mainly dry pattern is expected but will continue to keep an eye on Jose off the coast. For now expecting the system to stay out to sea after it completes a loop to the south of Bermuda then tracks north to northeast.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 22-26)
A pattern of mainly dry weather and near to above normal temperatures is expected.

3:31PM

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 11-15)
High pressure dominates the weather in southeastern New England for the next few days, which will be fair and warmer than average. The remains of Irma, in very fragmented form, will pass through the Northeast, at least part of them, Thursday and Friday, and at the same time a cold front will drop down from Canada and cross the region. We’ll have more cloudiness those days but for now I’m only going with the idea of isolated to scattered showers.
REMAINDER OF TODAY: Sun and high clouds. Highs 68-75 coast, 76-81 interior. Wind light variable with sea breezes at the shores.
TONIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 47-52 interior valleys, 53-58 elsewhere. Wind light variable.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 69-76 coast, 77-83 interior. Wind light variable with coastal sea breezes.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 48-53 interior valleys, 54-59 elsewhere. Wind light variable.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 69-76 coast, 77-83 interior. Wind light S but coastal sea breezes.
THURSDAY: Variably cloudy. Slight chance of showers. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s coast, middle to upper 70s interior.
FRIDAY: Variably cloudy. Isolated to scattered showers. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the upper 60s to lower 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 16-20)
The weekend of September 16-17 should be mainly dry other than a slight risk of a shower mainly September 16. For now forecasting fair and mild to warm weather September 18-20 but will keep an eye on Hurricane Jose off the coast, just in case.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 21-25)
A pattern of mainly dry weather and near to above normal temperatures is expected.

8:33AM

HURRICANE IRMA
Irma was weakened considerably by its encounter with Cuba, more than the reports actually stated. This is a whole other issue that I’ll talk more on later. The fact remains that Irma is still a very dangerous hurricane and will remain so as it tracks up the West Coast of Florida. Please check trusted sources for the latest information.

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 10-14)
The remnants of a cool pool overhead will trigger diurnal clouds again today and perhaps an isolated shower. The early part of the week will be dominated by high pressure with great weather. The remains of Irma will bring some cloudiness and possibly some wet weather, sometime during the middle of the coming week.
TODAY: Partly cloudy. Slight risk of an isolated shower. Highs 65-72. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 45-52. Wind light N.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 70-77. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy. Slight chance of rain. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the upper 60s to middle 70s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 15-19)
A mainly dry and mild to warm pattern is expected but Hurricane Jose milling around somewhere off the East Coast will be watched.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 20-24)
Still may have to watch Jose early period. Current thoughts are that it stays offshore. Otherwise, a couple fronts may deliver episodes of showers as temperatures are somewhat variable during this period.

12:37PM

HURRICANE IRMA
The storm has been hugging the northern coast of Cuba and this has delayed its northward turn, which is still expected, but now the center of the hurricane is expected to move basically up the western coast of Florida, whether it does this inland, offshore, or a combination of both, remains to be seen, but either way it will be a dangerous and damaging storm. Please check the official updates from NHC as well as trusted news sources for the latest.

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 9-13)
A cool pool overhead will trigger clouds and a few showers this afternoon and evening, with a repeat performance on Sunday with the clouds but not the showers. The first half of next week will be governed by high pressure bringing great September weather.
THIS AFTERNOON: Partly sunny. Isolated to scattered showers. Highs 66-73. Wind N to NE 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Isolated showers early. Lows 47-54. Wind light NE to N.
SUNDAY: Partly cloudy. Highs 65-72. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Lows 45-52. Wind light N.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 70-77. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.
WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy. Lows from the middle 50s to lower 60s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 14-18)
A portion of the remnants of Irma will probably bring at least some cloudiness and potentially some wet weather early in the period with fair weather expected to follow. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 19-23)
We’ll have to keep an eye on Hurricane Jose, just in case, but it should remain far offshore despite an expect erratic path in the days ahead. Otherwise, a couple fronts may deliver episodes of showers as temperatures are somewhat variable during this period.

3:49PM

Before I proceed to the normal forecast, I am going to draw your attention to the blog of a good friend and fellow-forecaster. His blog is infused with his personal style but it will not leave the reader short changed on well thought out forecasting and great writing. Today, he has written a very comprehensive blog about the current hurricanes, and even a little more. Please visit it by going to the link in the comments section below…

DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 8-12)
A cool pool overhead will trigger clouds and a few showers this afternoon and evening, with a repeat performance on Saturday. By Sunday and early next week, it warms aloft and at the surface and some great late summer weather is expected as high pressure dominates.
REMAINDER OF TODAY: Partly sunny. Isolated to scattered showers. Highs 70-77. Wind W 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Partly cloudy. Isolated showers early. Lows 52-58. Wind light NW.
SATURDAY: Partly cloudy. Isolated to scattered afternoon showers. Highs 66-73. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy. Isolated showers early. Lows 47-54. Wind light N.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 65-73. Wind NE 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows from the middle 40s to middle 50s, coolest valley areas, mildest urban areas. Highs in the 70s.
TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Lows in the 50s. Highs from the middle 70s to lower 80s.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 13-17)
A portion of the remnants of Irma will probably bring at least some cloudiness and potentially some wet weather sometime during the Septemer 13-14 period but this is not certain yet. Fair weather is expected to follow. Temperatures near to above normal.

DAYS 11-15 (SEPTEMBER 18-22)
We’ll have to keep an eye on Hurricane Jose, just in case, but it should remain far offshore despite an expect erratic path in the days ahead. Otherwise, a couple fronts may deliver episodes of showers as temperatures are somewhat variable during this period.
